By eating fast, the stomach, like bot
tie being filed through funnel, is full
and overlooking before We know it. But
the most important reason is, the food is
swallowed before time has been allowed
to divide il in sufficiently small pieces
with the teeth; for, like ice in tumbler
of water, the smaller the pieces are, tho
sooner they are dissolved IT has been
seen with the naked eye, that if solid food
is cut up in pieces as small as b-.f pea.
il dIgests almost as soon. without being
chewed at all, as if it had been well mas
ticated. The best plan, therefore, is for
all persons 20 thus comminute their food !;
for even if il is well chewed, the commin-
ution is no injury, while it is of very
great importance in case of hurry, for
ge.fulness, or bad teeth. Cheerful con-
versation prevents rapid eating.

COMMISSIONER MILLER said to-day: at
is true that we intend to have the beer
now being sold throughout the country
tested to ascertain its purity or impurity.
We have an excellent chemist, and he is
getting ready to make the tests. Oh, no,
we shall not call upon the brewers respec-
lively for samples. We shall purchase
samples from the retail dealers. and will
liable each one distinctly. In that way we
will get the beer just az it is on the mar
ket. OF course we will not undertake to
anaIyze samples of all the breweries in
the country at once. We will purchase
samples here and there throughout the
country, and they will be sent here. The
chemist can perhaps analyze forty differ
ent samples in day. The work will be
prosecuted from time to time. As there
will be no system for procuring the beer,
no brewer will be able TO tell when mis-
product will be examined"

NO ALARM IN CHICAGO.

Health Commissioner De Wolf, of Chi

cholera in quarantine at New York. This
information is very interesting to US if
read arIght," he said. But we do not
need to be alarmed about any immediate
danger in this ceuntry. The clothing,
freight, and all the effects of this vessel,
as we'll as all persons on board, will be
thoroughly disinfected. There will be
the least possibility of any cases arising
from It,"
DR.. John II. Rauch, secretary of the
State Board of Health, said there was
little danger of the disease spreading
now, 1t being too cold and too late in the
season. If, however, there should appear
to be danger of the plague coming west
all communication with New York would
be cut off at once. 1t has been claimed
that cholera germs lived through the
winter of 1882 and spread the contagion
the following spring, but DIR. Rauch
thought there was no fear that this would
be the case now.

 A $6,5OO Bond Furnished.
 John c.

The bondsmen for the accused were secured by friends of the prisoners for the full amount for which they went surety and received in addition, so it is stated, $500 each for the favor they showed in going bail. Frank E. Bennett, of Bridgeport, furnished bonds for Harris. The bunco mems cases come up in the Superior court in June. It is not thought that either of them will appear for trial. If so New Haven experience has cost them $11 ,0OO or over, and several weeks of duranca yiIe.

The Early Days of New England.

The Early Days Of New Em&laAds
 Rev. E. E. Atwater, of New Haven, read an interesting paper on the "United Colo nies of New England" before the Historic Genealogical society at Boston Wednesday. He said that the reason why Rhode Island did not join this primitive confederation in New England was that she did not want to join it, and the other colonies did not want her to join. It seems, however, that Rhode Island was willing to unite for the common purpose of defense against the savage, but the feeling of distrust if not downrigh ha- tired against the Roger Williams settlement was so intense that the request to enter the league was denied Rhode Island. It is a curious instance of the tenacity of historical distrust that the coldness between Rhode Island and Massachusetts fingered until this century, even in the face of. political union and the common perils of war. It was stat ed by Dr. Cornell in the discussion that fol. lowed the paper, that he experienced this distrust when he was a student in Brown university. He applied to the president in behalf of himself and other Massachusetts students to be excused from duty upon the annual Massachusetts Fast day. The presi dent consented after 8 reference to the "pe culiarities of Massachusetts" upon condition that they should request the steward not to provide them any meals on that day.
